subsequent crashes directly after start. worked first

[Timo Goetze]

Version 1.0.0 on ubuntu 9.10 german

After following the hints to solve the mlt.py problem, i got it to work from new ppa. When I cut my first video and imported H264 and AVCH in 720p and fullhd, it crashed when trimming the AVCH fullhd 1080i on the timeline.

after this crash I get following error at every start. Also reinstalled (apt-get autoremove and install).

openshot
Added /usr/share/openshot to system path
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.0.0)
--------------------------------
/usr/share/openshot/windows/SimpleGladeApp.py:340: GtkWarning: gtk_toolbar_set_icon_size: assertion `icon_size != GTK_ICON_SIZE_INVALID' failed
  return gtk.glade.XML(self.glade_path, root, domain)
A new frmMain has been created
The program 'openshot' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 47 error_code 2 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Segmentation fault

Many thanks for your great work - it looks pretty impressive!

It happens to me too. Just installed openshot after removing kdenlive to give it a try. The first time it happened, it started again after I removed the ~/.openshot directory. Now it happened again, and removing the .openshot directory does not help. At the start I have the esame error but with different codes:

The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 28 error_code 2 request_code 132 minor_code 19)

The first time it happened while clicking on a track thumbnail to disable audio which the resize tool selected. I clicked various times before understanding the problem, and then it crashed.

Just a question. What are your actual version of Openshot ?
Thanks

[Romano Giannetti (romano-giannetti)]

I installed from the ppa repository, current one:

(0)pern:~% wajig versions openshot
openshot/karmic uptodate 1.0.0-1

I have tried to start it with a remote X sessions and it seems to work. So maybe it left something wrong in the X Server state that make it crash when restarted. In that PC I have an ATI card (fglrx driver).

Tomorrow (I have it installed on the PC at work) I will try to kill/restart X to see if it starts working again.

[Romano Giannetti (romano-giannetti)]

Ok, no need to restart X. After starting openshot via remote, I was back to the office and it started again without problem. So I suppose is some piece of status that stays in the Xserver and make it crash only in certain condition.

Any hint on how to debug it if it happens again?

[Olivier Girard (eolinwen)]

Two questions :
Have you compiz running ?
Have you a graphic card AMD ? i have had some strange results with on Jaunty then on Karmic it's perfect.

[Romano Giannetti (romano-giannetti)]

Yes, AMD card with "normal" effect, so compiz is running, and ubuntu Karmic.
